State-of-the-art solutions for bar, rod, sections and rails

Primetals Technologies has a complete portfolio of solutions for bar, wire rod, section and rail, and non-ferrous mills. Deep knowledge that draws on more than 300 years of history from the tradition-rich brands of Pomini, Morgan, Ashlow and GFM. Primetals Technologies has a record of more than 500 plants installed, and continues with ongoing innovation with hundreds of active industrial patents.

Today's demands for flexible and economic production of long products can only be met by production process, electrical and automation solutions that are based on precise process modeling, high-performance control systems and in-depth understanding of long product rolling technology. Drawing on more than a century of experience and proven solutions, Primetals Technologies has the answers to complex and diverse market demands – from the smallest upgrade to the greatest technical challenges for high-speed and special steel grade products. With our world-class equipment, processes and design tools, we set benchmarks for rolling long products. We offer worldwide proven and extensively preconfigured solutions, including modular standard packages as well as global and intelligent service concepts for the entire equipment lifecycle.

Systems and components are designed for high durability and maximum operation up-time, to meet the specific requirements of productivity, tolerance, surface finish and metallurgical quality.

Red Ring rolling stands are suitable for use in a wide range of situations. Multi-slit and high-speed technologies ensure that the requirements of high productivity of rebars are safely and efficiently guaranteed. Through bar-in-coil operation by V+ coilers, compact and twist free coils of bars and convex shapes are produced. State-of-the-art cooling technologies are available, for controlling the distortion of merchant bars, for thermo-mechanical rolling and for quenching & tempering both carbon and alloy grades, including stainless. The 2+4 EVO reducing and sizing mill further improves the dimensional accuracy of SBQ bars with a better control of metallurgical structure.

Section Mill — For light, medium and heavy sections, rails and special shapes

Tailored solutions for applications ranging from construction and building to railways for high-speed and heavy-haul transport.

Universal stands with no-housing or housing design provide high rigidity in a compact structure. 3+1 tandem mills increase the yearly productivity in a small installation space. Change-over times are reduced to a minimum by automated change systems. Reversing flat rolling blocks allows the production of a large range of flat-bars, without need of any roll change. Horizontal and vertical straightening systems remove the deformations caused by asymmetrical cooling effects. Stacking systems provide adjustable and flexible operation to process different lengths. Inline cooling technologies improve the mechanical characteristics of medium-large sections and reduce its residual stresses, without expensive alloying elements. The idRHa+ inline and flexible rail hardening system applies defined cooling protocols to obtain the controlled microstructure and hardness distribution required by premium rails.

EFFICIENT HEATING SYSTEM

The Efficient Heating System (EHS) is a flexible plant solution which maximizes the efficiency of the billet pre-heating by combining different energy sources. The process route is tailored to local energy cost patterns and source availability. The electric heating through high-performance induction units allows a significant reduction of scale generation.
